Last updated: Sun, Mar 9, 2025

Pain can occur without any discernible injury. So-called “tension headaches” and migraine headaches are examples of this. Low-back pain is at present another.

Causalgia and Central Pain are two examples in which it is easy to imagine that a clinician might not discern an injury. In general, pain without discernible injury may be explainable by limitations in discernment.
